So, what was it? Bush's call or not?

And, if he's in charge, isn't he responsible for decisions he delegates to others?

He simply can't say, wasn't me, and wash his hands off it.

One, is Falluja today a success?

Two, whose call was it to stop the Marines exerting dominance and gaining physical control?

Are you happy with a neoTalib city spitting distance from a Marine Base?

I would say it was Conway's call. Let's not fault the President.

The President is not responsible for tactical decisions made by military commanders. They are responsible. What you are implying is as unfair as the Dems blaming President Bush for the treatment of prisoners.

The president has not said this.

I am not sure, though I suspect General Conway. But I doubt the President

Well, things have been relatively quiet there thus far. I can understand the logic which says that if we kicked butt, we would have energized the insurrection.

Look the important issue here is not whether everything is going right in Iraq - hindsight is always 20/20. The important thing is re-electing President Bush. Keep your eyes on the prize
